covid19pandas

This package presents COVID-19 data from Johns Hopkins University and The New York Times in pandas dataframes, to make analysis and visualization easier in a Python environment.

We provide this resource because it is important for anyone to be able to easily access data. Nevertheless, you should always follow the COVID-19 safety protocols established by authorities in your area rather than relying on any conclusions you may divine from these data about the state of the world.
